I'm not watching Raw tonight. You shouldn't either.
Seriously. I'm reading the same thread about the problems the WWE is having lately. And here's the thing: I've made it a habit to leave the boards and come back...when wrestling doesn't keep my attention I don't visit TPWW that often...but I always get more excited around Wrestlemani and I generally like the build-up.
But this year..not feeling it. Not watching. Not even interested in WM. Realisitically, Vince, even with all his eveil genius reputation, is notoriously bad at changing his product. So my not watching will have zero effect. But maybe if enough fans just stop paying attention, then that will send the message that the WWE needs to get its shit together. So there you go...I'm not watching. Gonna read, or masturbate, or maybe work on my Cornellverse/EWR scenario. Probably some of everything. Last edited by PureHatred; 03-13-2006 at 07:20 PM. |

Maybe on EWR you could create someone who's gimmick is he masturbates to erotic literature...that way you could do all three at the same time...in a way.

I remember in 99/00 when RAW would go off the air, I was like "oh shit! I can't wait for Smackdown!!!!!"
I remember missing out on WrestleMania X7 because it was the culmination of the most anticipated Rock vs. Austin feud, and I regret extending that Christmas vacation Nowadays, it's like if you miss it, it's no big deal...nothing really big happens anyways. The last thing i remeber missing is Rock's heel turn when against Hogan in 2003. But then again, I'm a huge Rock mark Shit sucks, and that ONE THING that has the potential to make you wanna tune in week in week is GONE. Back in 2000, it was The Rock's promos. You'd make sure your ass was planted in front of the TV screen on Monday Nights because Rock could come out in the opening segembnt, he could come out after the first hour or he could be in the final segment laying the smacketh down on some poor jabronie They had the potential with Cena. I'd watch each and every week if he was cutting heelish battle "raps" on his opponents each week like he did on Smackdown in 2003. Imagine if he was to rap about Triple H's nose and bloated body. Fuck it would've been hilarious. Atleast entertaining enough to tune in Now, it's just the same old shit. It's way too formulaic right now. Too predictable. Maybe it's just me? I'm still gonna watch WrestleMania though, because I missed last years |

RAW failed to record on my DVR tonight for some reason. i did watch about 20 or 30 minutes of it. then i turned it off before the main event. RAW really is unwatchable. i will not make any attempt at restoring RAW to my DVR timer. in all seriousness i simply cannot continue to devote any of my time to watching RAW.

Surely vince wants us internet peeps to stop watching.
However with this present time being 'Make it or break it' for WWE you not watching could break them. ![]() |

A few years ago, I felt like every epsiode of Raw was a must-watch. Even their bad episodes were still GREAT compared to what they have on now. Now I forget to tape it, and I find myself not caring that much. Or I watch it live, and I walk out of the room in mid-match/promo/whatever.
But honestly, I've got to say, thank you PH, for being intelligent enough to turn off the TV when the programming gets bad. |

I woke up at about 10 past 2 in the morning, and thought 'Raw is the only thing on right now, might as well turn it on' and could barely sit through it and ended up turning it off.I don't even know the result of the main event and couldn't careless.
Am I seriously supposed to care about Edge V Goldust? Btw, i'm odering wrestlemania because i've refused to order it ever since its gone on Sky Box Office and feel like I should give it a chance, but if this WM proves to be a waste of money, i'm not ordering a PPV/watching again until the product improves, which is why i'll still come on here, to see if it does. |

So as Raw was postponed tonight due to Curling I made it home in time to watch the whole thing. I decided that since I wouldn't be getting laid I might as well watch. So it starts out with Vince pretending Austin is still his opponent. Oh wow, how unexpected, the cup of piss was thrown at the MacMahons. I never saw that coming. (Can you sense sarcasm?) Then there were a few boring matches and promos and you know what. The only thing I paid attention to was HHH during his promo. We all talk about HHH being a dink but he's the only reason to watch. Then there was other stuff. Seriously, I couldn't care less about what I was watching. WTF with the Black Cowboy coming out? I did find myself flipping channels but I did watch most of Raw and I seriously am uninterested. I don't even remember any of the matches. Yup, I am finally getting tired of wrestling.

Seriously, you lot expect way too much. I liked RAW this week, and have been enjoying it for the past number of weeks. And I can't wait for Saturday Night's Main Event. I may just be an easily pleased person, but you should try tuning in without such high expectations. The Attitude era's long gone, this is a whole new generation. Either like it, or change the channel.

So I didn't. I was out a little bit, got some coffee with a friend, watched some movies on-line later, and prepped for a contract proposal at work. Basically I puttered. And like a lot of people in this thread I didn't feel like I missed much; I'm a pretty avid wrestling fan and the fact that I had zero interest in a Raw the week before SNME (the first SNME in years) and three weeks before WM is more an indicator of the quality of the product than of me being 'too demanding.' |

You know, aside from the Michaels Storyline (And Vince spending more time on the mic than HHH), another "squash" match where the Spirit Squad STILL couldn't dominate one guy and Cowboy Troy, there was some good stuff. Mostly HHH.
He saved the contract signing and the ME was awesome (as far as non-singles go). There was a lot of entertainment value in both segments. Shelton vs the Whole F'ing show was also great. Sadly, the Divas, McMahons, Spirit Squad and Rated R Superstar kinda sucked up the rest of the time. But those three highlights were enough to make me think the time I spent fast forwarding was worth it. |

I have one point to make.
A TRUE wrestling fan will not willingly miss a raw that has as much build up and exctiment as the raws that are on preceding Mania. Make of that what you will but it is the TRUTH. |
